Xiaoling 35.2 309 During each sampling, we need confirm what commands we need to send to the RS485 sensors to read data. After the RS485 sensors send back the value, it normally include some bytes and we only need a few from them for a shorten payload.
Xiaoling 2.2 310
311 To save the LoRaWAN network bandwidth, we might need to read data from different sensors and combine their valid value into a short payload.
312
313 This section describes how to achieve above goals.
314
Xiaoling 35.2 315 During each sampling, the RS485-LN can support 15 commands to read sensors. And combine the return to one or several uplink payloads.
Xiaoling 2.2 316
317
Xiaoling 35.2 318 **Each RS485 commands include two parts:**
Xiaoling 2.2 319
Xiaoling 35.2 320 ~1. What commands RS485-LN will send to the RS485 sensors. There are total 15 commands from **AT+COMMAD1**, **ATCOMMAND2**,…, to **AT+COMMANDF**. All commands are of same grammar.
Xiaoling 2.2 321
Xiaoling 35.2 322 2. How to get wanted value the from RS485 sensors returns from by 1). There are total 15 AT Commands to handle the return, commands are **AT+DATACUT1**,**AT+DATACUT2**,…, **AT+DATACUTF** corresponding to the commands from 1). All commands are of same grammar.
Xiaoling 2.2 323
Xiaoling 35.4 324 3. Some RS485 device might has longer delay on reply, so user can use AT+CMDDL to set the timeout for getting reply after the RS485 command is sent. For example **AT+CMDDL1=1000** to send the open time to 1000ms
Xiaoling 2.2 325
326
327 After we got the valid value from each RS485 commands, we need to combine them together with the command **AT+DATAUP**.
328
329
330 Below are examples for the how above AT Commands works.
331
332

340
341 **m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command**
342 )))
343
344 For example, if we have a RS485 sensor. The command to get sensor value is: 01 03 0B B8 00 02 46 0A. Where 01 03 0B B8 00 02 is the Modbus command to read the register 0B B8 where stored the sensor value. The 46 0A is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
345

524 This command is used to configure the RS485 devices; they won’t be used during sampling.
525
526 * **AT Command**
527
528 (% class="box infomessage" %)
529 (((
530 **AT+CFGDEV=xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx,m**
531 )))
532
533 m: 0: no CRC, 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS in the end of this command
534
535 * **Downlink Payload**
536
537 Format: A8 MM NN XX XX XX XX YY
538
539 Where:
540
541 * MM: 1: add CRC-16/MODBUS ; 0: no CRC
542 * NN: The length of RS485 command
543 * XX XX XX XX: RS485 command total NN bytes
544 * YY: How many bytes will be uplink from the return of this RS485 command,
545 ** if YY=0, RS485-LN will execute the downlink command without uplink;
546 ** if YY>0, RS485-LN will uplink total YY bytes from the output of this RS485 command; Fport=200
547 ** if YY=FF, RS485-LN will uplink RS485 output with the downlink command content; Fport=200.
548
549 **Example 1** ~-~-> Configure without ask for uplink (YY=0)
550
551 To connect a Modbus Alarm with below commands.
552
553 * The command to active alarm is: 0A 05 00 04 00 01 4C B0. Where 0A 05 00 04 00 01 is the Modbus command to read the register 00 40 where stored the DI status. The 4C B0 is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
554
555 * The command to deactivate alarm is: 0A 05 00 04 00 00 8D 70. Where 0A 05 00 04 00 00 is the Modbus command to read the register 00 40 where stored the DI status. The 8D 70 is the CRC-16/MODBUS which calculate manually.
556
557 So if user want to use downlink command to control to RS485 Alarm, he can use:
558
559 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 01 00**(%%): to activate the RS485 Alarm
560
561 (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 05 00 04 00 00 00**(%%): to deactivate the RS485 Alarm
562
563 A8 is type code and 01 means add CRC-16/MODBUS at the end, the 3^^rd^^ byte is 06, means the next 6 bytes are the command to be sent to the RS485 network, the final byte 00 means this command don’t need to acquire output.
564
565
566 **Example 2** ~-~-> Configure with requesting uplink and original downlink command (**YY=FF**)
567
568 User in IoT server send a downlink command: (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**A8 01 06 0A 08 00 04 00 01 YY**
569
570
571 RS485-LN got this downlink command and send (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 01 **(%%)to Modbus network. One of the RS485 sensor in the network send back Modbus reply **0A 08 00 04 00 00**. RS485-LN get this reply and combine with the original downlink command and uplink. The uplink message is:
572
573 **A8** (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**0A 08 00 04 00  **(% style="color:red" %)**01 06** ** **(% style="color:green" %)**0A 08 00 04 00 00**

581 This is the first byte of the uplink payload. RS485-BL can connect to different sensors. User can set the PAYVER field to tell server how to decode the current payload.
